We invite you to visit the photography exhibition "Notes from India" by Algimantas Vėjalis, on display at Gallery A (Saulėtekio al. 14, second floor). “You will not see India in the mountains, you will not see India by the rivers, you will not see India in the cities – you will see India in people’s eyes…” – says photographer A. Vėjalis. A. Vėjalis has visited India on several occasions. The exhibition presents his observations of the seemingly simple and peaceful everyday life of a small Indian town. The photographs reveal the daily routines of local people and a distinct sense of spiritual calm, which, according to the author, is increasingly rare in today’s world, often overshadowed by existential anxiety. Exhibition presentation and meeting with the author on April 28 (Tuesday) at 4:00 p.m. The photography exhibition will be open until April 30.

Until April 30, the VILNIUS TECH community is invited to explore and test the Passport  (Euromonitor International) platform products – Passport Sustainability and Passport Innovation. Passport Sustainability measures sustainable product sales data and the prevalence of sustainability claims across multiple categories. It provides you with comprehensive insights into consumer and business attitudes towards sustainability to help you track performance of claims, understand consumer sentiment and craft effective sustainability strategies. Passport Innovation tracks new brand and sub-brand launches across the global digital shelf and also measures product expansion over time by country, retailer and category to learn when new products proliferate or get discontinued. Testing these products offers an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the latest market research tools, which can be valuable both in the study process and in conducting academic research. Please note that Passport (Euromonitor International) is a university-subscribed database providing comprehensive analysis of consumer behaviour, industries, forecasts, and demographic indicators across more than 200 countries worldwide. The platform is highly valued for its regularly updated data, reliable methodology, and the ability to easily compare markets. Access is available from VILNIUS TECH computer network or via VPN.     

Cinema has remained one of the most influential and compelling art forms for over a century, offering not only entertainment but also a lens through which to better understand the world. From the earliest silent films to contemporary digital productions, the evolution of cinema reflects shifts in audience preferences, technological advancements, and the creative experimentation of filmmakers. Even books about cinema intended for leisure reading can significantly enrich the viewing experience, providing tools to recognize stylistic techniques, contextualize films historically, and explore new cinematic perspectives. Accessible yet informative, these works enable readers to approach cinema not merely as a form of entertainment, but as a complex cultural phenomenon. They can inspire a deeper appreciation of familiar films, facilitate the discovery of new directors and movements, and foster a broader engagement with film history. We encourage readers to enhance their leisure time by engaging with the following publications: You can borrow books for home use through the VILNIUS TECH Virtual Library. Upon receiving a notification that your order is ready, please collect the items at the designated location: the Central Library (1st floor lobby) or the faculty reading room. *Access to full-text electronic books is available only from the VILNIUS TECH computer network. Using the VPN service, you can connect to these databases from home.
